A young boy's mother is ill and his shenanigans don't help. He gets sent to live with a relative in a small town filled with eccentrics.
The film is very charming although I had forgotten how much pain is inflicted on this kid from all sides. He identifies with the dog Laika who was sent into space by the Russians with only enough food for a while.
But the townspeople, for all their quirks are endearing and we are left with the sense that his life there will work out after all.
